Abstract :
This paper presents our work on the therapeutic robotics project EmotiRob which is the continuity of the MAPH (active media for the handicap) project in emotion synthesis. Our aim is to maintain emotional interaction with children. For this, word, movement, and emotion synthesis are used. After defining a face for our robot, which is a compromise between the richness of expression and simplified mechanics, we propose the internal model of it in order to achieve and maintain emotional interaction.
